EPISODE 187 – Fogo Island Framework

What if economic development wasn’t about growth, but about belonging?

This week on The Well Endowed Podcast, we’re joined by Zita Cobb, co-founder of Shorefast on Fogo Island. Shorefast operates a range of community-owned businesses, including the renowned Fogo Island Inn, all designed to revitalize the local economy while honouring culture, ecology, and place.

Zita shares how her community embraced shared ownership and deep local knowledge to build a more resilient and regenerative economy that puts people and the planet first.

With support from Edmonton Community Foundation, we’re following this conversation to explore how the PLACE model could help shape a more equitable future right here in Edmonton.
